Coastal Orange County is known as the 'Riviera of the West
Coast' for its natural beauty and relaxed charm. With its serene
shoreline and chic shopping areas, this stretch of land has much to
offer. Newport Beach Harbor, with its breathtaking views, is
a feast for the eyes and is the next stop on this tour of
discovery. Once in Newport Beach, guests board electric boats to
explore the picturesque harbor. Dotted by seven charming
residential islands, quaint villages, celebrity homes, and more
than 9,000 spectacular boats, the harbor is an attraction for all
ages. Your day ends in beautiful, seaside Laguna Beach. Since
the early 1900s, Laguna Beach has enjoyed a reputation as a haven
for arts and crafts. In the early days, people came from miles
around to enjoy its beauty and tranquility, pitching tents on the
beaches, and exploring the intimate coves and the rolling hills.
This is truly a wonderful way to discover the California
Riviera!

Southern California Wine Tasting

Cost: $95/person
Temecula Valley is Southern California's celebrated Wine

in the coastal mountain range allow the breezes from the Pacific
Ocean to flow into the valley, creating a climate similar to the
wine regions of Southern France. The excursion includes a
tasting and lunch at one winery. Winery selected may include:
Callaway Vineyard and Winery, the region's largest and most modern
premium wine producer; Thornton Winery, whose champagne was chosen
as one of the 1988 Presidential Inaugural champagnes; Wilson Creek
Winery, famous for their almond champagne; and Maurice Carrie
Winery, producer of 14 different varietals. Guests enjoy
samplings of California's award-winning wines at these 'boutique'
